Making animals happy since ‘00 :)
Pet care experience
I grew up with 3 Siberian Huskies and currently own my own dog who is an Australian Shepherd. Ever since I was 8, I've been heavily involved in walking, training, and taking care of dogs for not only my family but neighbors and friends as well. I have owned many animals from rabbits to fish to dogs. And I have cared for nearly every domesticated animal in the book! I absolutely love all animals and care for each like they are my own child.
Reviews

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always makes sure that every animal is treated as my own. I want the animal to feel as if their owner isn’t even away. I like to keep them to their normal schedule and spend as much time with them as possible to keep them comfortable. I like to keep them in their typical routine so there's no additional stress or anxiety added on to them while they stay with me!
Home
Information Natalie F. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if your dog is reactive and/or aggressive and to what animals they have these reactions towards. I would also like to know their daily schedule, if they need to be crated, and if they take and medications or are allergic to anything. I would also like to know if they're potty trained and if they have any bad habits I need to watch out for and correct.
A typical day
I love to play fetch with dogs and taking walks in nature areas. I like letting dogs have as much freedom as they can be allowed. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a dog having fun in a new place and seeing more of the world. I see walking as a stress reliever for both me and the animal. I also like to, if they are allowed, have the dogs play with my dog as a sense of socialization and energy release!

Availability
Pet care is my number one priority. I like to make sure every animal I watch, including my own, gets let out every 4-8 hours and gets walked at least once a day for 30 minutes. I do have a full time job but I work from home so I can always make sure animal care and safety is number one on my list.
